In this small, collaborative class, we explore writing and grammar through engaging slides, conversations, and a variety of activities. I partner with each learner to build their grammar skills and enhance their reading and writing abilities. Each session focuses on a specific English topic to grow learners' "writing and grammar toolbox."
Class Structure:

🔹️ Conversation Warm-Up:
▪We start each class with a relaxing conversation starter. Students can share their ideas via chat or take turns speaking. This activity helps build connections and confidence in sharing. Participation is optional, and students can choose to just observe until they feel comfortable. (The chat will be turned off periodically after the warm-up to minimize distractions during the focused lesson.)

🔹️ Idea Capture & Lesson:
▪Our lessons follow the "I Do, We Do, You Do" format. This method transitions learners from dependence to independence, fostering engagement and understanding.

✨Sample Lesson: How to Write a Hook Sentence:
▪I Do: I'll demonstrate what a hook sentence is and how to write one. Example: "Can you imagine what it would feel like to fly like a bird?"
▪We Do: We brainstorm hook sentences together. Topics will be a surprise each week. 
Sharing is optional, and students can upload their sentences after class if preferred.
▪You Do: Students can write their own hook sentences based on prompts or their own ideas. They may also verbally share their ideas if they wish.

🔹️ Game & Practice Time:
Various games or activities to reinforce concepts learned during the lesson. These activities provide a comfortable environment for students to apply their knowledge.

🔹️Optional Practice Assignments:
▪Optional practice assignments are given for select classes to reinforce learning.
